Sorry bro, but I don’t need tips from a 8 capper. I don’t take advice from worse players than me.

This has been a lot of fun since its outside of the norm for the way the forums operate here.  It's been fun to get the competitive juices going long before the real competition begins.

Ha... I've heard enough to know what you mean.  But putting our country ahead of yourself is as honorable as it comes.  You all deserve the recognition for your service.

Has anyone booked their fittings yet?  Are you having issues finding a place to do a full bag fitting at?  Last year I had to piece together things quite a bit.  Woods were done at a Golf Galaxy, irons were fit using a Mizuno shaft optimizer at my local course, and hybrids were an educated guess.  Even the local Club Champion that opened up last year did not have Cobras in stock at the time (they do now).

I've asked my head pro if he would do a Cobra demo day at the course but no dice so far.  Hope you all have better luck than I did.

I'm have the same issue.

But I'm pursuing several fitters and they want to do a full fitting but so far no one has the adequate Cobra cart to fit for the cubs.

Are you all going to get a chance to pick and choose which irons and hybrids, woods, etc you want?  Or is it  just across the board 2 people with Forged TEC, 3 people with all Speedzone? 

When I listed my "dream bag", aside from including their spendiest bag, haha, I stated I wanted a Speedzone 4 and 5i, and Forged TEC 6-PW.  

Perhaps a reason I got the big red X   haha.  

Yes 2 Forged and 3 Speedzone...unless someone were willing to trade.

Just remember, I’ve been to the part on TN where you live. I’m very sure there are some toothless people there. 

One county over to the east there's a lot of them, right before you head into North Carolina.

Is there a banana show in Thailand? I have only heard of the one in Oki. XP

Ahh, yes, good ol’ Polk County... and it does not get better once you enter NC either...

Hmm, what ball is everyone putting in play?  @bryandeflata  ..erm..um.. I mean @B.Boston, will it be the Wilson Duo Soft or the Callaway Supersoft?  

I'm really liking the Tour B X lately

Snell MTB-X for me. Really like their performance off of the tee and they're quite grabby around the greens. I play a lot of morning rounds so I'm always contending with dew and wet club faces. 

P.S. I have plenty of spots available on my team.

I have a few options locally that carry Cobra. Right now waiting on some further information regarding exactly how we're going to be fit. Remote fitting may be an option.

I am planning on Speedzone 5-GW, with perhaps only two Black wedges. I like less options around the green rather than more. We'll see what the fitting holds. I play primarily at one course and my bag will be built around that. I could see going with a 5-wood and a hybrid depending on what's comfortable. I rarely use a fairway wood because I can get away with bomb-and-gouge, and the SpeedZone 5-iron is so strong lofted that I can use that to tee off on the holes I can't use a driver on.

This thread makes me so glad that I'm not:

1) A Boston sports fan.

2) An Alabama fan.

3) Married to my cousin.

Building a Set around 1 course huh?That’s like those people who have a “scratch” handicap at “Their” course, but can’t break 80 anywhere else...might be hard to win a comp like this boxing yourself into that group...

Clearly not from Alabama.

But whomever perfectly imitates this swing will get my first vote.

Yeah, somewhere in another thread he provides an actual video of his swing (I couldn't locate it) and it's not much different .  The kids gonna bring home the hardware.

Yeah you kind of have to be in the area to fully understand how amazing it truly is and how blessed we all are with so many championships. Good for you for recognizing that being in Michigan, you have no idea what it's like to have a dresser that's literally overflowing with championship t-shirts that you just keep adding to pretty much every year.

1.  Bergy is the best two-way player in the game.

2.  Rene Rancourt is a legend.  Very few do it right.  He was one of them.

3.  I tried to find this for Michigan sports fans, but I just got a "No Results Found" error.

@russtopherb@B.Boston

I won't lie, there's some bitterness as a Detroit sports fan about Boston sports. Still have nightmares of Tori Hunter flipping over the right field fence at Fenway trying to grab Ortiz' home run ball.

I'm also a little jaded because I spent a summer in Cooperstown interning at the Hall of Fame and everyone is either a Yankees fan or a Red Sox fan. Too easy to jump on the bandwagon. (Though Yankees fan are undoubtedly worse!)

No shame in being a Red Wings fan... lots of great teams.  I used to be amazed as the speed they played with vs the Bruins old slow and plodding style.  Red Wings were one of the teams on the forefront of the new NHL style of play.

And watching this guy play was something else..
